My card today features the Lovely Legs 'Be a Mermaid’ stamp set from Colorado Craft Company. The stamp sets in this collection are perfect for different colouring techniques.

One of my favourite ways to colour is to use alcohol markers as a base layer, then add coloured pencils over the top for finer details.

I stamped the mermaid image on white card with MFT Grout Gray Hybrid ink. This ink is alcohol ink friendly and light enough for no line colouring.

On my card base, I added a strip of Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Scallops patterned paper and some silver glitter card. I then trimmed down the mermaid panel and embossed a sentiment from the same set at the top in silver.
I adhered the panel to my card base, then finished the card with a few embellishments for extra sparkle.
